Amazon Hdwtrs/Spencer Butte

Because some of the Ridgeline Trails are not officially open, we changed the usual route and did not go up Spencer's Butte. Instead, we hiked from Martin Street up to Fox Hollow junction and took the upper trail to the Dillard Road Parking Lot. We returned to Fox Hollow via the lower trail and then back down to Martin Street. According to GPS we hiked about 4.6 miles and gained about 650 ft. elevatiion including all of the ups and downs. There was and unusually large amount of water on the trail due to heavy runoff from recent rain. clogged culverts and changes in surface flow around downed trees.
